Objective Interface Systems sells an ODBC product for Ada which I've used with GNAT on 2 projects. Oracle's ProAda product, to my knowledge, hasn't been ported to GNAT. ProAda has many compiler dependencies and making it GNAT-friendly isn't easy (I've tried). ODBC, however, is very easy to use. Plus it's vendor independent. Hope this helps, Bill Pritchett Bill Hensley (Bill_Hensley@SMTP.RC.TRW.COM) wrote: : I have been tasked to develop a set of Web pages that are hosted on a Sparc. : I would like to use Ada GNAT to accomplish the CGI side of this.
